W.O.F. Claril (Clay x Peril)

The Fight

"Well, see you soon," said Peril as she left Clay and flew down to the Arena as the announcer announced "And now, The fight between the undefeated Peril of the Skywings," he had to spot because of the huge roar of the applause. Most of the audience was cheering, except a few Mudwings, looking straight at Clay with hopeful eyes. " And Clay of the Mudwings!" said the announcer after the applause died down. There wasn't as much applause for Clay, but there were about a hundred who did applaud (mainly Mudwings). Peril looked at Clay with a look of worry, anxiousness, and confidence. She already knew it would be easy to take him down. She knew by his muscles he wasn't very good at fighting. The horn blew again, silencing everyone so the Queen could speak. "Hello! Welcome to my very exciting arena! Guess who's fighting the undefeated Peril today? The Mudwing from the dragonet prophecy! Isn't that exciting!" Queen Scarlet said. The whole arena filled with whispers. Clay heard "Is he really a dragonet of destiny?" and "I hope he wins" and "whatever! the prophecy isn't real. He will never save us." The announcer yelled "fight!" and Peril said "I'm so sorry Clay" and lunged right at him.

A moment later Clay could feel Peril's burning talons on his scales. His eyes started to water as he yelled in pain. Peril lifted her talons off of his shoulder and Clay looked at the place where she had touched him. He was fine. His shoulder hurt a ton, but he wasn't dead! He heard a big Mudwing yell "He was born from a blood-red egg. He has fireproof scales!" and more unintelligible whispers surrounded the arena. "Wow," Peril said to him. She came over and hugged him. It hurt, but Clay enjoyed her warm touch. He hugged her back and the whole arena gasped, the whole crowd looked frozen in shock. "We should free you friends and get you out of here," said Peril, taking off to burn his friends free. A second later Tsunami, Starflight, Sunny, and Glory were there. They flew off and by the time people could process what was happening, they were long gone. They stopped at a big cave and Peril said "Mind if I borrow Clay for a moment" and without a response, she left with her firey talons in his hands.
